Welcome to the Red Foundation

It Takes a Village

Who We Are

The RED Foundation is a Barbadian non-profit organization founded by Barbados’ Cultural Ambassador, Stedson Wiltshire (Red Plastic Bag) out of his desire to give back to the society that has endlessly given to him and contributed to his success.

Using the African Proverb, “It takes a village” as its foundational principle, Wiltshire and the RED Foundation team aim to help Barbadian children thrive by creating a social community that empowers, encourages and nurtures the youth while passing on wisdom, customs, standards and practices synonymous to the
Barbadian culture.

Because it takes a village, The RED Foundation has partnered with like minded agencies and groups to work towards strengthening communities and facilitating guidance for at risk youth across the island, and help strengthen families in need.

We are on a mission to help the helpless.
